In light of the awful spiking situation at the moment, I have heard other SU's around the UK are providing drinks covers to students upon their request. I was wondering if this was something SUSU could also implement to mitigate spiking incidents and protect students.

I have also heard of other SU's having spiking test kits on hand behind the bar, should the need to use one arise. I do not know if this is already in action but think this would also be beneficial.

Hi,

I'm pleased to let you know that we now have Stop Top (drink covers) available on request at Stags! These help to protect against drinks being spiked. We also have testing kits available behind reception in Building 42. 

Kind regards,

Hi, 

We ordered drink covers (and testing kits) a few weeks ago and are currently waiting on the covers to arrive. Once they have, I will update this and they will be available!
 

Kind regards,

Savanna

Hi,

We are currently in proactive conversations with the University to obtain drink covers and spiking test kits, to provide for free to students. 

I will have an update on this very soon. 

Kind regards,
